Feb 26th
Awoke on Friday morning after a good night’s sleep….the bed’s here at Ngala are great. They are King size and have really good mattresses and thick comforters. You might think that why would you need a comforter when it is so hot? There is a large fan over the bed to get the air moving and it blows through a huge mosquito net that covers the bed, and I like to leave that running all night. In the middle of the night if you are not under the comforter it does get quite cool (I said cool…not cold!!!). Will try to post some photos again when we get back to Lilongwe. After breakfast we were ready to head out by 8:30, but Davison did not make it to pick us up until after 9 (not a problem). We spent most of the morning preparing our report for the Board meeting at 5:30 today. We will meet the Board, exchange some gifts, give our report back, and have some refreshments and snacks. We invited Davison to join us at the Ksasa club for lunch, and I had the Chambo fillets again (can’t get enough of that fish – go figure!). We headed back to the SACCO for a few hours, and then Davison drove us back to the lodge to get ready for the meeting. Brad went for a short Kayak ride on the lake, but I just relaxed around the lodge. I heard too many stories about the crocodiles to feel comfortable out on a small Kayak in Lake Malawi.
Davison was to pick us up at 5:15 pm, but did not arrive until about 7:00 (not a problem!), as he had taken his Toyota Van in for repairs and it was not ready, so he then had to borrow a director’s car to pick us up (it has A/C whohoo!). The board meeting went very well, they were very appreciative of the gifts that we brought. I had some Canada key tags, and some small flashlights to give them and Brad had a few hats and some Wainwright pins. The Board presented us with a nice hand drawn sketch of the Building in a glass frame and a golf shirt with the SACCO name. We then had some snacks, which were chicken wings, meatballs, pigs in blanket, and some other snacks that were prepared by the Ksasa club. Everything was very good, but due to the meeting be late the food was not even warm anymore, which was a shame cause that kind of food is best served hot. They even had some beer, wine or brandy for refreshments. We got back to the Lodge at about 10:00 that night, and hopefully will get a good nights sleep for the big trip to Salema tomorrow.
